Four more days until the hockey game, woo-hoo! Can you tell I'm excited? Good heavens will it be great to get the heck out of here and not even be with in shouting range of any of my problems. Primarily the whole situation with my parents. I finally put my foot down last Thursday night when I received yet another hysterical phone call from my mother. After I finally got it out of her as to what was wrong, called my father, and called her back I was just a little bit miffed. Basically I told the both of them that I refused to get dragged back into the middle of this thing and that I refused to be a translator. If they wanted someone to talk to them or with them as a mediator, then they should go find a counselor. That is what those people get paid for. Besides, it is their relationship, not mine. My mother keeps telling me I don't understand what it's like to love someone for that long and then go throught this. Well DUH! Considering the longest relationship I was ever in lasted oh, I don't know, 3 months, I have no idea what she's talking about. Ugh.

My grandmother (Dad's mom) is in the hospital again. She has a long history of diabetes (I'm doubley cursed, have it on both sides of the fam) and has not been watching her diet lately. Stubborn old woman (not unlike myself, if you can imagine such a thing). Sooo, her doctor made her go to the hospital last night because of all of the fluid she was retaining and the high blood pressure. According to my mother who I just got off the phone with, she's doing a little better but will not be able to go home for another couple of days. I'll probably stop out at the hospital to visit tomorrow over my lunch hour.

Got a nice little email from my friend Chris, he said he missed me. I know he was just kidding around but it's nice to be missed. I hope he has that party he was talking about having sometime in February (hint, hint). This time I'll make sure I make the trek to Hoboken. Can't believe it's been over a year since he left here. The newsroom just isn't the same.

Not much else is happening. I'm sort of talking to Dan again. The way I see it, life is way to short to hold a grudge. Granted he's still wiped out of my cell phone and email, but when he wants to IM me I don't mind talking to him. Marti and I are making plans for Feb. 14. Instead of just sitting around moping and eating bad food, we're going to invite all of our SINGLE friends to dress up and go out with us. I have a new red dress I want to wear (looks good if I do say so myself) and Marti has a really cool black outfit she's dying to put on. Sooo, if any of you other singletons out there are in the vicinity on V-Day come join us. Give me a call and let me know you want to join the fun. I know it's a Thursday night so we will not be out too late (we were thinking maybe catching a movie after a fancy dinner).

Hope you all have a good week and an even more enjoyable weekend.

Good night stars, Good night moon.
